I believe I have the best and quickest non painful way, that will totally insure the convicted person dies a quick and painless death.

Give them a sedative of some sort....your choice...make them sleepy, happy, or dopey...it won't matter.

Blind fold them, and lay them down comfortably on a cushy surface.

Strap them firmly, making sure the head does not move.

Then drop a 1000lb block on their head from 10 feet above.... they will literally not know what hit them.

No pain, lotta mush...but no pain, and probably complete satisfaction from those that demanded justice.

Oh.... and televise it, you could cover the head with a soft cloth bag... to retain the pieces... but televise it nationally. Letting every criminal out there know that this.... is their end.

Totally humane also.... how could anyone argue?

Actually I don't think the lethal injection is all that humane
from what I understand, part one of the drug is a paralytic, making it impossible for the subject to express distress, followed by the lethal drug, which stops the lungs, causing suffocation, while the subject remains aware of what's happening to them as they die, a rather horrible death IMO, though it looks humane

Sadly, according top my source, this is how the drug the vet uses to 'put down' (kill, folks, call a pot a pot) an ailing animal works, too

Firing squad would be more humane

as for 4 shots to the heart being necessary to desroy all 4 ventricles, I seriously doubt a shot from a 30-06 or .308 would fail to totally destroy the heart, most folks hit with a clean hit from one of these drop instantly

A head shot would be even quicker

There's a reason a .22 in the back of the head is called an 'exocution style' killing, it flat works, instantly

I have, with much regret, used this method on a few of my animals in the past, only when they were clearly in great pain and there was no hope of healing

According to the PHD and former Micro instructor at UMMC, lethal injection is first a form of anesthesia, and then one that disrupts the heart. ( he tried to explain the heart thing .. but swoosh over my head)

No. The sentence is death, not torture. The sentence should be carried out as efficiently and as humanely as possible. However I can't get too worked up about the suffering of the person being executed if things don't work out perfectly. Their own actions got them where they are, and my sympathy is with whomever they victimized. They gave up the right to any "options" when they committed the crime.

I like it,, after all appeals are done, every month, get those guys together, plates on the table, they sit and eat, one dies.

Now, as to the death penalty itself,,, FBI labs have been known to aim evidence at a suspect. Exculpatory evidence HAS been withheld. Men have been demonstrated, proven, innocent,,sitting on death row..
So, if the killer is CLEARLY guilty, multiple witnesses, gun in hand,video,, okay, death to him,, BUT,these circumstantial evidence cases where the FBI lab is responsible for analyzing the evidence to see if the suspect is guilty, and fingerprints and on and on and they Build a case against some schmuck who can't Afford the fight,, I'm not happy with how it has been used... too many innocent people are dead or on death row.. One is too many..I've SEEN at least 10 (guessing) over the years. Can you IMAGINE being wrongly convicted?

This is a good point
the point of the death sentance is not to punish the killer, it's to remove him, permanently, from so society
In other words, we don't kill people because they killed, we kill them so they don't kill AGAIN, or that's what the idea is supposed to be, just as we don't kill a rabid dog for being rabid, we kill it to keep it from spreading the disease and keep us safe

I've known a few people who I thought might face the death sentence someday; they aer NOT folks who are repentant by nature, it never occurs to them they're being punished because what THEY did was wrong, it's always someone else's fault

I've actually never understood why a prosecutor, defender, or even a judge is allowed to withhold evidence in a criminal case, pro or con, since the idea is to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the accused is guilty, or release him
ANY level of punishment is wrong when leveled against an innocent man, and, like the founding fathers, I would rather see 100 guilty men go free than a single innocent man be punished
